OK - so now you are getting to the structure inside the group or nation. if you look at small tribes or groups - they often work off the "strong leader" principle. so a strong leader governs them - an alpha dog or alpha female - and the rest establish a pecking order in that group. it also means that the profits from their activities get divided by the pecking order, with the dominant people getting the best rewards. so there is a subservience in that structure, and some people are subdued. but at the same time, there is also a kind of "Darwinian evolution" where the strong members have to establish their dominance through superior fighting and food-gathering. This is not so bad, because it establishes genetic patterns where the strong genes get passed down successive generations. The group becomes stronger over time, because it keeps adapting successfully to its environment. Hence there is an interconnection between human genetics and group structures - to give the best chance of survival.

There are a lot of pathological things that can go wrong with the dominant-subservient group structure. The group needs intelligent, skilled fighters and hunters in order for everyone to survive. But if people dominate because of pathological personalities, that is potentially a big problem. The group will eventually fail or break up because the leaders are not fulfilling the basic needs for survival.
